Pathogens or endogenous molecules can reprogram innate immunity. This process can take the form of priming or tolerance depending on the activating signal, and favors enhanced resistance of infection and other insults, by modulating inflammation. Similarly to their organ-specific properties, reprogramming of macrophages and NK cells, is also compartmentalized.
